Human Factors of Firefighter Safety
from text "In the recent manuscript by Collins et al. [1], the authors conclude that the manuscript sample (n = 9) of wildland firefighters (WLFFs) experienced changes in body composition across the 2017 season. However, the authors outline a misconception of what body composition analyses may provide agencies and fire crews in relation to detecting underlying cardiovascular risk. Moreover, the authors suggest that seasonal measurements of body composition can help to detect nutritional insufficiencies, impaired job performance, and cardiovascular risk but provide little supporting evidence."
